I'd like to generate multiple copies of the same PDF page, depending on the

A common need.
I haven't found any XSL-FO tags for expressing such an iteration;
Correct, XSLFO is a layout language, not a transformation language.
does
anybody know how to implement this?
In your XSLT stylesheet. It is up to you to detect the attribute desired
and to repeat the page content as many times as you need by logic in your
stylesheet.
Your resulting XSLFO instance then contains all the content you need laid
out on the pages (as many copies as your transformation created), and the
XSLFO engine produces the result from that.
I hope this helps.
